A special edition compact track loader from CASE was at the Helping Hands charity concert, organized by Metallica’s All Within My Hands charitable foundation.

The winning design was submitted by John Piper, a rising design talent at CNH. 

Piper crafted a concept that recalled one of Hetfield’s tattoos, a skull with wings, together with the sharp iconic font reminiscent of his band’s graphics and album artwork.

 He also drew from the pinstriping in Hetfield’s private hotrod collection. All these elements were integrated atop a sandy camouflage pattern reminiscent of Hetfield’s signature Snakebyte electric guitar – a direct request from the artist.

Felipe Nunes of Tony Hawks skate team, is in a new Metallica video. WTF is he doing without an effing helmet?


it's mentioned in the podcast Tony does, in the interview with Weird Al, at 23:36 - 24:12


Tony Hawk hopped on Instagram in full support of his rider, teammate and friend, saying, "Consider this post the world premiere of @metallica’s music video for “Too Far Gone?” featuring the world’s gnarliest skater (aka @felipenunesskate)"

The Vegas car museum of cars for sale known as the Imperial Palace Car Collection is out of business as of yesterday, and it's all getting sold or auctioned



it doesn't matter that either the above or below were owned by Hetfield, the above is a Rick Dore masterpiece and the below is a 4 door Nash. Seriously, who the hell is looking for a Nash 4 door

And really, do you think we'll see another Rick Dore masterpiece for sale that we can buy? I doubt it.

Hot Rod Magazine features Rick Dore / James Hetfields "Black Pearl"


I'm guessing because it won Custom Of The Year from Goodguys.

December 2014 issue

I didn't know Rick's shop is in Carlsbad, and the steering wheel is from Quality Restorations in Poway
